At the recent UNU Macau AI Conference 2024, Assistant Professor Farzad Sabetzadeh represented the Faculty of Business at City University of Macau (CityU) and joined the newly inaugurated UNU Global AI Network initiated by the United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau). The conference, themed “AI for All – Bridging Divides, Building a Sustainable Future,” aimed to promote international cooperation in artificial intelligence (AI). At the conference, Prof. Sabetzadeh delivered a remark on “green AI” and discussed the carbon footprint of AI-related technologies, particularly the training of large language models (LLMs) and its impact on the environment. He also highlighted different mitigation strategies, their advantages and disadvantages, and emphasized the need for a sustainable approach to reduce carbon emissions in the process of LLM training. A group of students from the English-medium class of the Bachelor of Business Administration program attended the event to learn about the role of AI in facilitating the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as AI governance and development.
